For main set inventory Rebrickable says "There are X items in this inventory, with Y total quantity", but for spare parts it only says "There are Z items in this inventory". Please show the total number of spare parts since there may be more than one part of each type.

Alternatively, add a setting to set and part lists so that there would be 3 options:
Used in builds.
Not used in builds, appears in part summaries.
Not used in builds, doesn't appear in part summaries.

I'm working on a new set, and I've already filled all the data and proceeded to step 3 to add inventory. However, whenever I open the link to this WIP set from the front page, it shows me step 1 again, which is quite annoying. Please make it remember the last saved step of WIP sets and MOCs.

Apparently inventory changes in WIP sets and MOCs appear in the change log. I think that's not right, especially in case of MOCs, which shouldn't appear in any public sources until they are ready to be published.

In the part popup, if the checkbox "Spare part" is selected, the number of parts in the previous field is reset to 1. I guess this was made with good intentions, but it's actually quite confusing because the next field resets the previous one, which is supposed to be correctly filled already, and it's not easy to notice that something has changed. Remember that there may be more than one spare part of each type in some sets.

For some reason part 85861 Plate Round 1 x 1 with Open Stud is shown as a mold variation of part 6141 Plate Round 1 x 1 with Solid Stud although they are not mold variations but alternate parts i.e. functionally different. According to the change log, the correct relationship was set and has not been changed since then, so it may be a bug.

The whole layout is redundant. The text string under the title duplicates the fields in the form (obviously to compensate its invisibility by default), and the form does not provide many options to require so much additional space. Also, the need to expand and collapse it every time is very annoying. Therefore I think the form and the string may be easily combined like I showed in the sketch. The same applies to other types of lists.
And by the way, what are the advantages of the current design?

When searching parts by Element IDs, it seems more reasonable to redirect user to the page with the corresponding color of the part instead of the general part page. Considering that currently there are no Element IDs on the general part pages (sadly), it may be not obvious why this page is shown and which color we were searching.
